I loves me some Ishinomori, but he was just not capable of "sexy". Those women look as if he'd never seen a woman before and he was drawing based on details somebody was describing over the phone.
The actual artists should, I feel, be better that fan art representations of his or her art. This stuff would be totally awesome if he drew it on the back of his algebra notebook, most likely next to various attempt sat drawing the Iron Maiden logo.

Seems this was a common thing, Leiji Matsumoto has a bunch of similar looking illos in one of his art books.
Kinda works better with his style :)

That last one with the tank looks like something out of Heavy Traffic -era Bakshi.
